Subject: As we move toward the 21st century, the window of opportunity to improve floodplain-management programs and policies created by the Great Flood of 1993 has led to some progress. Congress has made some improvements to the National Flood Insurance Program, the administration has implemented some long-term mitigation programs, a major assessment of floodplain-management policies has been completed, and recommendations to make future improvements in basic water and land policy have been presented. However, our future actions will determine whether we have truly learned from the past. If we have not, in 2043 the United States may again experience a flood disaster comparable to the one of 1993 and will again wonder why
